A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

This morning, Darien was awakened by the sound of sirens in the city.

"Brother..." Miriam held Darien's hand nervously, looking uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, Miriam. Stay in the house with Auntie and don't go anywhere. Got it?"

"Um......"

"Auntie, please take care of my sister..."

"Go ahead, kid."

Darien put on the simple armor of a new recruit and left the house.

The wind and snow seem to be heavier today, as if it is foreshadowing something...

Darien hurried to the bottom of the city wall. Sir Balon had said that he would gather here when he heard the alarm.

As expected, the place was already filled with soldiers from the North.

Balon stood at the city gate, assigning tasks to everyone.

When it was the new recruits' turn, Balon only said:

"All new recruits are responsible for transporting various supplies. You are not needed in this battle."

If even new recruits need to go into battle, then there will be no need to fight this battle...

"Move, move!"

......

Darien was responsible for carrying ammunition for the ballista - a slightly polished round stone.

Among these round stones, there are also some special ones with runes engraved all over.

I heard from the veteran who led the team that different runes have different effects, so everyone should remember them.

In fact, it is quite easy to remember, there are just three types: "deflagration", "penetration" and "collapse"...

Carrying a whole box of ballista stones onto the city wall and placing it next to a ballista, Darien inadvertently caught a glimpse of the scene outside the city wall.

There are countless dark blue giants stretching like mountains, like another city wall, arranged unevenly at the end of the city.

Darien, who saw dozens of giants that day, thought he had developed some immunity to such giant creatures...

"Are you afraid?" asked the soldier operating the ballista next to him.

Darien didn't want to admit it, but his slightly trembling legs betrayed him.

"Not only you, we have never seen such a scene."

After all, the last war with giants was a hundred years ago. Everyone present was too young. Even Sir Balon, who had experienced many battles, had never seen it...

"Don't be afraid, little brother, just do your job. We are here. This ballista was carefully prepared by the Duke, specifically to deal with those big guys." Another deputy who controlled the ballista patted the fuselage, as if Not so nervous.

"Yes." Darien responded, then turned around and stopped looking at the scene outside the city, and continued to move things.

......

"Let the people in the south of the city move faster! Push all the ballistae over!" Baron commanded loudly.

The hundreds of ballistae in Beicheng alone are definitely not enough. The ballistae in Nancheng need to be temporarily mobilized for support.

After giving the order, Balon looked at Lorien on the edge of the city wall:

"Your Highness, please go down to the city wall first. It's too dangerous here. If you can, please go and appease the people in the city. What do you think?"

"I understand, Sir Balon, then, I wish you good luck..." After Lorien said that, he pulled Elsa, who was looking excitedly at the giant outside the city, down the city wall.

...Wish everyone in the city good luck today...

Balon sighed and turned to look outside the city.

Fortunately, all the ministries were notified in advance. All this was the Duke's plan. Otherwise, if we suddenly saw this scene today, I'm afraid there would be chaos in the city...

Admittedly, most of the soldiers still felt unsure, with visible nervousness appearing on their faces.

"Boys! Were you scared to wet your pants?"

The loud voice spread through half the city wall.

"I have killed more giants in my life than you have ever seen before! I am also afraid! What is there to be ashamed of?"

"What I'm afraid of is what will happen to the northern people in the city after you urinate! Who else can they rely on?"

"Today is different from the past. A hundred years ago, did Reinhardt City have this level of defense?"

"I have watched with my own eyes the walls of Reinhardt City have been raised inch by inch over the past hundred years. I have watched the barrier finally be completed and I have watched the ballistas being placed on the city wall one after another!"

"Don't let me see that while the city's defenses are getting stronger day by day, the soldiers defending the city are getting weaker..."

"Our Lord Duke is still in the far north, facing the King of Giants. His Majesty is still marching on the freezing snowfield. The people in the royal capital still have to face threats from the other side."

"And you are in control of the most advanced city defense equipment in the entire kingdom. With just a slight push, you can shoot a giant hole out of a giant hole. I have never fought such a rich battle!"

"Now, I don't need to say more about what is in front of you, but what is behind you? It's the entire people of the North, and even the entire kingdom!"

"Do you understand? If you understand, cheer me up! What's wrong with the giants? Giants are also made of flesh and blood, and they can also feel pain and die!"

"As long as they dare to enter the shooting range, I will shoot them hard!"

Balon's words shocked all the soldiers on the city wall, especially the recruits who were carrying supplies.

It is said that Sir Balon was keen on hunting giants when he was young, and countless giants died in his hands. The reason is not yet understood. Why does Balon hate giants so much?

Because of this experience, Balon had a rather interesting nickname in the kingdom at that time - "Lumberjack".

It probably means that Balon cut down all the giants as giant trees...

Of course, no one calls him that now.

Perhaps people in the south have gradually forgotten about the "Lumberjack", but sergeants throughout the north highly respect this old man.

Balon represents the backbone of the North, and even the Duke of the North acts like a father.

Balon, who came from an ordinary background, eventually succeeded to the position of leader of the Knights of the Guards by virtue of his own strength. He returned home in glory and had a place in the north. This is already a legend in the eyes of all ordinary soldiers.

The words of a legendary person are the best medicine for stress.

"Okay, don't stand still, take action!"

Time began to flow again, the war machine was running at full speed, and everyone was performing their duties, but the atmosphere was no longer solemn, and there was no trace of fear on the soldiers' faces.

Waiting for the "avalanche" moment to arrive...

......

"Um......"

In the castle, Beora, who had been sleeping for many days, finally woke up.

"You're awake." Lavoie was cooking something by the fireplace. When he saw Beora waking up, he said hello.

"...Hiss...how long did I sleep this time..." Beora rubbed her groggy head and asked.

"If we count from the time we entered the city...it must have been three days..." Lavoie would visit Beora every day.

In fact, it must have been more than three days, because the girl had been in a deep sleep since entering the city.

Lavoie was curious about people who went without food or water for more than three days.

"Have you arrived at Reinhart City? It's so fast..."

Beora's memory still lingers on the snowy night outside Bangga Village.

"Where are they?"

"You are talking about the people who came with you. They went north the same day they settled you down."

"...Ah, you really left me behind..."

"But in this way, Sophia is fine, as long as she's fine..."

They came to the north just for Sophia. Sophia was fine, and they felt half at ease.

"Are you hungry? I just made some soup..."

"Not to mention I don't even feel it. I'm really hungry after sleeping for so long."

Lavoie filled a bowl of soup for Beora and handed it over.

"Oh...not bad, not bad, comfortable..." Beora felt a warm flow down her belly, and her tail twitched with comfort.

"Huh?" Beora suddenly felt something was wrong in the soup.

A strange warm current circulates in the body and has no intention of disappearing...

"What's wrong? Doesn't the taste suit you?" Lavoie asked.

Beora still needs to continue to observe this strange feeling that will not dissipate for a while, so she doesn't want to embarrass Lavoie.

"No, it's nothing. It's a very delicious soup..." Beora slowly got up from the bed, wanting to move around.

Walk up to the huge window...

...Hey...am I not awake yet...

What's going on?
